Below are excerpts from individual lines:

I mostly translate communications intelligence and report what I think my clients will need.

My client, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Defense.

But, I don't work for the government. Governments will change and I only work for the British people.

I gather information,

It is for the government to better protect the British people,

Not so that the government can lie to the British people.

I have no objection to being asked to gather intelligence,

to organize a terrorist attack;

But I am against being asked to gather intelligence,

Just to change the UN vote and deceive the world into war.

Prison Saddam Hussein's brutality against the Kurdish people, killing 180,000 Kurds with biochemical weapons,

I can assure you,

My administration has absolutely no sympathy for the Iraqi regime.

attack iraq,

Not just the attack on Saddam Hussein,

Instead, they attacked a country of more than 30 million people.

I cannot imagine and cannot bear the pain and disaster that war will bring.

She is naive, but brave!


personal idea:

The film focuses on what happened after the "official secrets" were exposed, not the move.

I admire Caitlin, she has her perseverance, and she is very proactive when her work goes against her beliefs, even if it may be against the government.

I don't know why, but I've been enjoying movies like The Whistleblower more and more lately. From Snowden, to Blackwater, to this official secret.

PS: When the Iraq War happened, I was still young and in kindergarten...and, after that, I didn't really want to know about it...but, in the American TV newsroom, there is also this one The movie shows all the things that war has brought to people in the context of the 21st century, as well as the faces that various people show in front of this incident. I want to fully understand the causes and consequences of this war. .

    The labels in the Chinese Internet are really easy to use. Just put a "Mother White Lotus" on someone, I am afraid that no one believes that there are idealists in the world. Seeing the shot of the deity, she is also so young and firm. Although she is not sure that the phrase "I will do this again" in front of the media is not taking advantage of the trend, but she has done so and is not brave enough. This is what a young and impulsive idealist looks like. It can only be said that the United Kingdom is indeed a real society under the rule of law, and it is hard to think of it in your country. And I still like the newspapers' scenes, the news ideal, something that no longer exists in the Chinese context, still makes people excited.

    It means that women are happy for their own sake, regardless of the consequences. The only movie that expects the heroine to be punished by law
